Carriage
driving inspires people who are unable to ride a horse but are capable and
have the courage to either climb on to a carriage or to be pushed up a ramp
onto the carriage in their wheelchair. Safety straps secure the wheelchair and
they can then drive out into the countryside enjoying a one to one experience
with a pony or horse with the feeling of freedom that this brings.

The
sense of achievement the client feels when they ask a pony or horse to walk on
or trot on is tremendous. The ponies are all trained to obey voice command and
the rewards that the clients experiences, as they feel they have control, is
very liberating.

Clients
can sometimes arrive with us not feeling at their best but when they realise they
are carriage driving positive changes are noticeable and they cannot wait to
get on board and set off on one of our
two, four wheeled, carriages.
